Stunning …
This is your first post after your trip. Is this the standard we should expect for the rest? Should we all just give up now, or are you going to force us to up our game? (hehehe)

Thanks Kenny, you must go !! I loved the contrast in the environment of all the places I visited on this trip.
The sand was drifting on the dunes but behind me was a sand storm blowing in, got pummeled by grains of sand lol the lens is a little gritty to say the least but it was worth it . Loved Death Valley.

I was in Death Valley in August 06, and it looked so different to this, no greenery. This shot is just superb in every way, instant favourite.
